Create User With Full Name in Linux

If you want to add a user along with his/her full name. Here is how to do it.

useradd -s /sbin/nologin -c "Younten Jamtsho" younten

With the above command, I am creating a user younten, who's full name is Younten Jamtsho. Addition to that, I am assigning nologin shell to the user younten so that he cannot log in to ssh.

Now that you have created the user, use finger command to see the details of the user.

finger younten

 Lets change the default directory for the user youten from /home/younten to /var/www

usermod -d /var/www/ younten


Now lets change the existing username younten to webmaster

usermod -l younten webmaster

Zimbra Mail Error: not enough free space in mail queue

If you are using Zimbra Mail and you are not able to send any mails and also you see an Error Message " not enough free space in mail queue " under /var/log/message. Then you should try out this solution. 1. Login to the server, and then again login as zimbra as follows: #su - zimbra 2. Check the Postfix message_size_limit, by default it should be 10MB (i.e. '10240000' bytes) as follows: $postconf message_size_limit message_size_limit = 10240000 3. If the value is higher than that, set it as follows to 10MB $ zmprov modifyConfig zimbraMtaMaxMessageSize 10240000 $ postfix reload Now try sending Mail, It should work. You could try out this solution for Error: " SMTP Server Reported: 452 4.3.1 Insufficient System Storage "
